eight, Congress passed a law appropriating two hundred thousand dollars annually, "for the purpose of providing arms and military equipments for the whole body of the Militia of the United States". Owing to circumstances not within the control of the War department, no distribution of the arms procured under this appropriation has been made for the last six years. In reply to a letter addressed to the Secretary upon this subject, I am assured that it is probable an apportionment will be made within a few months. Our proportion of the arms, now to be distributed, will be about two thousand five hundred stands, which we may calculate upon receiving the present year.
